In the second quarter of 2024 ended June 30th, revenue was $1.9 million, which is the $800,000 decrease compared to $2.7 million in Q2 2023. This decrease was primarily due to working capital constraints, which we believe was a short-term challenge that we addressed with our recent capital raises. Demand from our wireless carriers and distributors remains strong. Have we currently have an order backlog of over $7 million, giving us strong visibility into the third and fourth quarters?

Marc Seelenfreund: We expect revenue in Q3 2024 will be significantly higher than Q2 2024 revenue, and our goal for 2024 revenue is to have high double-digit growth. As we scale our business aggressively, our order backlog may likely be inconsistent and perhaps lumpy at times due to the purchasing behavior of our customers. Therefore, we do not intend to disclose our backlog quarter to quarter. Having said that, we are extremely excited with our sales for the remaining half of 2024, as we are now seeing tangible, rapid adoption of our unique PTT product portfolio across our various sales channels. With our North American wireless carrier partners, we are currently in a SD7 stock position with AT&T, Verizon, U.S.

In the second quarter of 2024 ended June 30th, revenue was $1.9 million, which is the $800,000 decrease compared to $2.7 million in Q2 2023. This decrease was primarily due to working capital constraints, which we believe was a short-term challenge that we addressed with our recent capital raises. Demand from our wireless carriers and distributors remains strong. Have we currently have an order backlog of over $7 million, giving us strong visibility into the third and fourth quarters?

Seelenfreund: Having said that, we are extremely excited with our sales for the remaining half of 2024, as we are now seeing tangible rapid adoption of our unique PTT product portfolio across our various sales channels, with our North American wireless carrier partners, we are currently in a SD7 stock position with AT&T, Verizon, U.S, cellular, and Bill Mobility in Canada.

Marc Seelenfreund: And we also continue to sell in a non-stock position at T-Mobile.

Marc Seelenfreund: Just as important, our sales reach beyond emergency services to include school safety, healthcare, utilities, hospitality, and enterprise use cases among others.

Marc Seelenfreund: Therefore, we remain optimistic that 2024 will be a strong sales growth year for Siyata compared to 2023.

Marc Seelenfreund: We will file our second quarter 2024 financial results with the SEC on Form 6K and urge our listeners to access them from the SEC's website, Search for Siyata Mobile.

Marc Seelenfreund: For the remaining Q2-2024 financial metrics, Gross Margin percentage for Q2-2024 was 10.4% versus 29.7% in Q2-2023. Gross margin dollars decreased from $800,000 to $200,000, a $600,000 negative variance. The decrease in Gross margin was primarily due to one time heavily discounted transaction with an international reseller, which we believe will help our revenue in the second half of 2024.

Marc Seelenfreund: S-GNA expenses are $4 million in Q2-2024 versus $2.7 million in Q2-2023, an increase of $1.3 million. This increase in S-GNA was primarily due to marketing expenses related to investor awareness.

Marc Seelenfreund: Adjusted EBITDA for Q2-2024 was negative $3.8 million compared to negative $2 million in Q2-2023, a $1.8 million negative variance in EBITDA.

Marc Seelenfreund: Working capital as a June 30, 2024 was negative $8.3 million versus $1.3 million as a December 31, 2023, a $7 million decrease in working capital. Removing both the non-cash warrant and preferred share liabilities classified as current liabilities, the working capital of June 30, 2024, would have been $2.5 million and at December 31, 2024 would have been $1.5 million.

Marc Seelenfreund: For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total revenue was $4.2 million compared to $4.5 million in the same period of 2023, which is a negative variance of $300,000. Gross margin dollars were $1.1 million in 2024 compared to $1.3 million in the same period of 2023, which is a negative variance of $200,000. The decreased gross margin was again primarily due to a one-time heavily discounted transaction that was sold internationally to a reseller which we believe will help our revenue in the second half of 2024. Finally, the gross margin percentage was 25% in 2024 compared to 28.8% in the same period of 2023, a decrease of 3.8%.

Marc Seelenfreund: Turning to significant business highlights, we are pleased to report that in addition to our strong backlog and our improved stock positions, with four North American carriers, we now have our ST7 hands that integrated with another leading global push-to-talk application, called ZELLO, and we expect more applications to be announced in the future. This integration has already led to meaningful sales, with multiple new sales opportunities in the works.

Marc Seelenfreund: Also of note, we are in discussions with our business partners about new product launches, which we expect to announce in the coming months and will have a significant positive impact in our revenue in 2025 and beyond.

Marc Seelenfreund: We recently expanded our sales team with the hiring of Boba Scale as our VP of Public Safety. Bob previously served as the director of product development at Samson's Mission Critical, Push the Talk team. In the brief time that Bob has been at Siyata, he has already helped us to sharpen our product strategy and develop new sales opportunities.

Marc Seelenfreund: We are excited to have a person of his caliber on our team.

Marc Seelenfreund: We are just beginning to see the rapid adoption of our disruptive solutions and as an displacement of landmobile radio by Push the Talk of a Cellular continues to progress, this should drive meaningful growth for our innovative products.

Marc Seelenfreund: We stand by our previously stated goal of strong radio growth with the goal of profitability in the coming quarters.

Marc Seelenfreund: We will file our second quarter 2024 financial results with the SEC on Form 6K and urge our listeners to access them from the SEC's website, Search for Siyata Mobile.

Marc Seelenfreund: That concludes our remarks.
